Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the president of the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee, has resigned from his position following the party's electoral losses, with Congress leadership prioritizing alliances over state-level politics. Chowdhury's resignation was accepted after an earlier offer post-election was declined by the party's high command, which now seeks to strengthen opposition against the BJP. In a separate issue, he has written to President Droupadi Murmu, claiming West Bengal is in an 'anarchic condition' due to violence against opposition party members during and after the elections. He alleged that many innocent individuals have suffered, including losing their lives or livelihoods due to the ruling party's tactics. Chowdhury highlighted specific incidents of violence that have contributed to a climate of fear and intimidation for opposition workers. The Congress leader's dual actions reflect the party's struggle for relevance in West Bengal amid rising tensions with the ruling Trinamool Congress.
